It’s up to the media to ascertain whether or not Luxon murdered a homeless person on a dare in 2002. That’s not appropriate if that’s the case but equally I’m sure he hasn’t done that.

One of our favourite nature facts is that a group of ladybirds is called a 'loveliness'. 📷 Rob Coleman

Close-up photograph of a cluster of bright red ladybirds with black spots gathered on the sloping wooden surface of a bug hotel or stacked logs. Around 30-40 ladybirds are resting together in a sunlit triangular recess between weathered pieces of wood, with warm natural colours and shallow depth of field creating a softly blurred background.

Print this, frame it www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

In a November conversation at the Urban Consulate in Detroit, the great writer and thinker Tressie McMillan Cottom was asked by host Orlando P. Bailey, “Do you have a daring idea for us to ponder and sit with for our collective future?” McMillan Cottom replied with this: “When people try to sell you on the idea that the future is already settled, it’s because it is deeply unsettled. I think that this promise of an artificial intelligent future is really just a collective anxiety that very wealthy, powerful people have about how well they’re gonna be able to control us in the future. If they can get us to accept that the future is already settled—AI is already here, the end is already here—then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.”
Today, I refuse.

I covered this in my premium last week, it’s laughable! www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

"You Need Al Skills Today To Be Ready For The Future"/"The Future
Belongs To Those Who Know AI"
So, you've probably seen a lot of stuff — maybe even in your own workplace! — about how you're gonna need Al skills in the future, because, uh.
Well, you're gonna need them, and you're gonna get left behind if you don't have them.
If anybody ever says this to you, please ask them to be specific, because at this point I'm not even confident I can make up a task that Al can do for
me.
In fact, here's a simple one: please name me somebody who has gotten significantly better at their job using Al. One person you know. One. Just one. Try it.

I am, in theory, exactly the person who should be getting the most out of Al. I write a lot. I research a lot. I constantly have to keep an eye on stuff. I pull stuff out of large piles of data. I think I make like 500 searches a week, I'm a complete animal. I talk back and forth with my editor Matt Hughes constantly to brainstorm ideas.
So why don't I use Al? Surely it would be perfect, right?
Nope! Al is a terrible researcher. I've used everything from Al mode on Google to the most expensive generative search engines available for large hedge funds, and in 99.9% of cases I've found nothing new or interesting or novel. That edge case was one time when a search engine pulled up a single quote from an earnings statement. Once. One time.

So, what do people mean by "Al skills"? Prompt engineering. They mean "how can you get this product that's sold and hyped as a panacea for every informational problem to do the thing that it's meant to do," and the answer is usually "it can't do it, but the way to get it close is to find nuanced ways to ask it to do stuff." In a very real sense, "Al skills training" is actually Al training you - making you fill in the gaps, making you do the work that this alleged "intelligence" does.
